View Santiago De Compostela – Pamplona to Santiago in a larger map

I looked at the the Garmin output and it seemed I needed MapQuest to read them? Not too deterred and not wishing to wait for a copy of MapQuest I thought there must be a way to convert these files.

Once downloaded I then ran the following command:
[cci]gpsbabel -i gdb,roadbook -f sample.gdb -x nuketypes,waypoints,tracks -x transform,wpt=rte -o kml -F sample.kml[/cci]

Papervision 3D (Great White) Displacements
Experiments with Papervision 3D Great White…
All points created by exporting from a 3d package, position objects (cubes) at these points. Using Tweener, then make ‘em move on the mouse over action. Dynamically add the text to a movieclip – add movieclip to moviematerial and apply to plane. Have the plane face the camera and stick in a couple of event listeners…
Click on “BOOM” to make the cubes explode!
